Concept explainers
Self-Concept and Sightedness. Self-concept can be defined as the general view of oneself in terms of personal value and capabilities. A study of whether visual impairment affects self-concept was reported in the article ‘‘An Exploration into Self Concept: A Comparative Analysis between the Adolescents Who Are Sighted and Blind in India’’ (British Journal of Visual Impairment, Vol. 30, No. 1, pp. 31–41) by S. Halder and P. Datta. The following
- a. Find P(V2).
- b. Find P(V2 & S3).
- c. Obtain P(S3 | V2) directly from the table.
- d. Obtain P(S3 | V2) by using the conditional
probability rule and your answers from parts (a) and (b).

- Eighteen participants took part in an experimental study that consisted of three levels: normal classroom teaching, normal classroom teaching with tutors, and an experimental teaching method to increase student scores on a statistics exam. Your data set includes the following variables: Treatment (1 - normal classroom teaching; 2 - normal classroom teaching with tutors; 3 - experimental teaching method) Gender (1 – female; 2 – male) Pre-test score (higher scores represent better student performance on a statistics exam) Post-test score (higher scores represent better student performance on a statistics exam) Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test scores (IQ) The number of hours the student studied per week. Do test scores at pre-treatment differ from test scores at post-treatment? Note, this analysis should be conducted ignoring the treatment group they are in. Select an appropriate statistical test and state teh hullhypothesis.arrow_forwardA group of researchers followed 10 firms from 2010 to 2022 to determine the effect of new tax policies on firms' performance: Firm ID = 1,...,10 Year = 2010,...,2022 I2010 = Investment during year in 2010 ...

- Fish of Lake Laengelmaevesi. An article by J. Puranen of the Department of Statistics, University of Helsinki, discussed a classic study on several variables of seven different species of fish caught in Lake Laengelmaevesi, Finland. On theWeissStats site, we present the data on weight (in grams) and length (in centimeters) from the nose to the beginning of the tail for four of the seven species. Perform the required parts for both the weight and length data. a. Obtain individual normal probability plots and the standard deviations of the samples. b. Perform a residual analysis. c. Use your results from parts (a) and (b) to decide whether conducting a one-way ANOVA test on the data is reasonable. If so, also do parts (d) and (e). d. Use a one-way ANOVA test to decide, at the 5% significance level, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists among the means of the populations from which the samples were taken. e. Interpret your results from part (d)arrow_forwardFour used cars were selected from a used car lot. A spreadsheet of database shows the following information about these cars.

Bone Length Research performed at NASA, led by Dr. Emily R. Morey-Holton, measured the lengths of the right humerus and right tibia in 11 rats that were sent to space on Spacelab Life Sciences 2. The data on page 175 were collected. (a) Draw a scatter diagram of the data treating length of the right humerus as the independent variable. (b) Based on the scatter diagram, do you think that there is a linear relation between the length of the right humerus and the length of the right tibia? (c) Use a graphing utility to find the line of best fit relating length of the right humerus and length of the right tibia. (d) Predict the length of the right tibia on a rat whose right humerus is 26.5 millimeters (mm).arrow_forward
- A developmental psychologist interested in the attachment between full-term and pre-term infants and their mothers conducted a study to measure infant willingness to explore a strange environment by counting the number of toys infants handled during a five minute interval. Four groups of infants, two comprised of full-term infants and two of per-term infants, were observed both when their mothers were present and when their mothers were absent. The data is presented in the table that follows: Baby Birth Condition | Mother 1 # of Toys (toys) Identify one of the independent variables: Full-term Present Present 2 Full-term 6. 3 Full-term Present Present Full-term Full-term Full-term Full-term Full-term 4 5 Absent 6. 6.

The women were asked about their physical activity as teenagers and at ages 30 and 50. A press release about this studyt generalized the results of this study to all American women. In the press release, the researcher who conducted the study is quoted as saying the following. Our study shows that women who are regularly physically active at any age have lower risk of cognitive impairment than those who are inactive but that being physically active at teenage is most important in preventing cognitive impairment. Answer the following four questions for this observational study. (a) What is the population of interest? O all teenage girls all women in Maryland, Minnesota, Oregon and Pennsylvania all women all women between 30 and 50 all American women (b) Was the sample selected in a reasonable way? O No,…arrow_forward

One of the goals to study was to compare the average number of left-turn accidents at locations with and without left turn only lanes to develop numerical warrants (or guidelines) for the installation of left turn lanes. a) Determine the population of the interest, its sample and variables. b) List one suitable method to collect the data.arrow_forwardA study was recently conducted to assess the relationship between miscarriage and heavy alcohol use during the first trimester of pregnancy Fifty women who suffered miscarriage were enrolled in the study along with 50 women who delivered full-term infants . Each participant's use of alcohol during their first trimester of pregnancy was ascertained by face-to- face interview. For the purpose of this study, heavy alcohol use was defined as consuming four or more drinks on any one occasion during the first trimester of pregnancy . Study results found that a total of 18 women were heavy alcohol users, 14 among those who suffered a miscarriage . a. What type of study design was used? B. What is the appropriate measure to describe the strength of the association between the exposure and the disease? c. Calculate the measure identified in question B d.
